In chemistry, a halide (rarely halogenide [1]) is a binary chemical compound, of which one part is a halogen atom and the other part is an element or radical that is less electronegative (or more electropositive) than the halogen, to make a fluoride, chloride, bromide, iodide, astatide, or theoretically tennesside compound.
Two commercially important halide minerals are halite and fluorite. The former is a major source of sodium chloride, in parallel with sodium chloride extracted from sea water or brine wells. Fluorite is a major source of hydrogen fluoride , complementing the supply obtained as a byproduct of the production of fertilizer.
Alkali metal halides, or alkali halides, are the family of inorganic compounds with the chemical formula MX, where M is an alkali metal and X is a halogen.These compounds are the often commercially significant sources of these metals and halides.
The halogens may either be bonded to another element through covalent bonding or (as in many metal halides) present in the form of the halide ion. Subcategories This category has the following 13 subcategories, out of 13 total.
Partial oxidation of a halide: 2 PCl 3 + O 2 → 2 POCl 3. In this example, the oxidation state increases by two and the electrical charge is unchanged. Partial halogenation of an oxide: 2 V 2 O 5 + 6 Cl 2 + 3 C → 4 VOCl 3 + 3 CO 2; Oxide replacement: CrO 2− 4 + 2 Cl − + 4 H + → CrO 2 Cl 2 + 4 H 2 O

The polar bond attracts a hydroxide ion, OH − (NaOH (aq) being a common source of this ion). This OH − is a nucleophile with a clearly negative charge, as it has excess electrons it donates them to the carbon, which results in a covalent bond between the two. Thus C–X is broken by heterolytic fission resulting in a halide ion, X −.
Pseudohalogens occur in pseudohalogen molecules, inorganic molecules of the general forms Ps–Ps or Ps–X (where Ps is a pseudohalogen group), such as cyanogen; pseudohalide anions, such as cyanide ion; inorganic acids, such as hydrogen cyanide; as ligands in coordination complexes, such as ferricyanide; and as functional groups in organic ...
